THE PALATKA QUARANTINE.
The Sanitary Board Decides to Remove
1.-THE Danger Past

The Sanitary Board Decides to Remove
1.-THE Danger Past.
The health authorities of Gainesville and
jacksonville Ia . about concluded to raise
the Palatka qualaatine They telegraphed
10 Savannah to know if the Health Board
here would consent to its being raised and
vhe reply was in the affirmative. Only one
case of fever has appeared at Palatka, and
though it was fatal, there has been no sec
ond case. From this it is evident that there
is no fever there, and further quarantine is
useless. The time when it will be raised has
not been fixed, but it will be very soon.
The isolation Of Tampa will continue and
no person will be permitted to come from
there unless they pass through the fifteen
days quarantine. Dr.. Duncan sent six &C
chmated nurses 10 Tampa on Friday and he
viii send as ma ! more as are needed.
The danger of yellow fever coming here.
the heath authorities say, no longer exists.
In facb it has never been more than posi-
bility and no real DANCE; has ever existed.
The only thing necessary for the board to
do was to taxa such steps as would allay the
fears of the people The season had ad-
Nanced too far to permit the spread of the
disease, % % besides Gainesville and Jackson
vile had such a perfect quarantine that
there was no more reason for Savan-
nah to establish one than there was for
Charleston or Wilmington to do so.
The health authorities have communicated
with the health officers OF Jacksonville and
gainesville by wire daily and every days re-
ports have shown more and more conclu-
sively that there was no danger to Savan-
nah. All that was necessary has been done,
but now there is no necessity for any
further action for the frosts in this section
Yesterday morning were better than the
best quarantine.

beauty and careful selection of our stock. Prices
have been made to suit the times, and we offer
our representative stock on its merits, and stake
our reputation on the result. Our engraving
department is carefully conducted. and all work
in this line is artistcally executed. We are

THE WEEKS BIG TRAVEL.
Savannah's 1000 Visitors to Atlanta
Nearly All Back.

The Piedmont Exposition closed yester-
day. The rush of travel Atlantaward be-
gan to let up after Tuesday, and since
Wednesday night it has been not much
heavier than it was before the exposition
opened. The travel for the past four days
! and nights has nearly all been the other
way. Savannah sent up 1000 visitors to
Atlanta and the majority Of them went
last week. The Central has carried out
| three Pullman sleepers, besides Its own
sleepels, every night and on Monday and
Tuesday nights sent up three extra Pull
mans.
Tho IS 50 fve-day excursion limit
will expire on Tuesday night. The 81 40
tickets will also expire on the same date.
The majority of the excursionists have
all eady returned, and were glad enough to
get back The rush of travel interfered
with the running OF trains, and hardly a
south-bound train has arrived on time since
the exposition opened. By tonight or
tomorrow night, at the latest, it will be
safe to say that the last excursionst has
returned.
The next rush will be to Macon. The
State Fair opens there tomorrow and will
continue until Saturday. The excursion
rate from Savannah via the Central will be
So instead of 50 80, and the limit will ex-
pire Oct 81. This rate will not include
admission to the fair. The railroads will
not sell admission tickets. The sale will
begin this morning for the 7:l0 Central
train and will continue until Saturday
night. Pullman sleepers Will leave
Savannah at 500 p. IN. daily.
The Central has also arranged
a special train to run from MIllen to Macon
and return during the fair, leaving Millen
at 4:35 a. M, arriving III Macon at 9:4O,
and returning leaving Macon at 5:15 p. M,
arriving at Millen at 1920. Savannah sent
a big crowd to Atlanta and will send an
other very nearly as large TO Macon.

no reply has been received. If it is &C
cepted, as there is hardly a doubt that it
viii be, the Chathams will go up Tuesday
night and will carry full delegation of
members besides the shooting team.

FLoRIDA's WINTER GUESTS.
Southern Travel Checked by the Fever
Scare-Increased Accommodations.

Southern Travel Checked by the Fever
Scare-Increased Accommodations.
The yellow fever scare has put sort of
quietus upon Florida travel so far this year,
but it is only temporary. Capt. Fleming,
Superintendent of the Savannah Florida
and Western. said yesterday that travel had
begun quite hriskly and the Florida resorts
would have been filled earlier than usual, but
when fever broke out in Tampa people in
the North unpacked their trunks and de-
cided to remain at home for awhile. They
know full well, however, that the first cold
spell kills the fever and it will not be long
before they begin to seek their winter
home.
The Savannah, Florida and Western has
mad special preparations for the travel,
and has largely increased its facilities. A
through Pullman will be run from Washing
ington to Thomasville, and by Jan. the
two vestibule trains which are to run
through from New Y ork, will be on the
road. These cars have not yet been finished,
but it does not take long to turn them out,
and they will be ready to begin their work
when the new year opens.
